BetMGM will require a minimum bet of $2.50 in Illinois beginning Wednesday, representing the latest pushback against the per-wager tax the state legislature passed in June for sports betting. The company has not formally announced its plan, but it sent a letter to customers, which was posted Friday on X by a recipient.
Written on Par-A-Dice Casino — BetMGM’s retail casino partner — letterhead, the notice says the minimum will be “applicable to all wager types,” including “bonuses, bonus bets, or tokens.” The company did not respond to an InGame request for more information.
Hard Rock Bet confirmed to InGame that it recently implemented a minimum bet of $2 on its Illinois platform.
